Magnetically Stimulated Myogenesis Recruits a CRY2-TRPC1 Photosensitive Signaling Axis
CellsThe cryptochromes are flavoproteins that either individually or synergistically respond to light and magnetic field directionality as well as are implicated in circadian rhythm entrainment and development. Single brief exposures (10 min) to low energy (1.

The multivariate analysis of variance as a powerful approach for circular data
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background A broad range of scientific studies involve taking measurements on a circular, rather than linear, scale (often variables related to times or orientations).

Cryptochromes in mammals: a magnetoreception misconception?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Cryptochromes are flavoproteins related to photolyases that are widespread throughout the plant and animal kingdom. They govern blue light-dependent growth in plants, control circadian rhythms in a light-dependent manner in invertebrates, and play a ...

Ferromagnetic material in the eastern red-spotted newt notophthalmus viridescens [PDF]
, 1999 Behavioral results obtained from the eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) led to the suggestion of a hybrid homing system involving inputs from both a light-dependent and a non-light-dependent mechanism. To evaluate the possible role of a

Moon Phases Influence Posthatch Resting Behavior in Loggerhead Sea Turtle Hatchlings
Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT Sea turtles face numerous threats during their lifetimes, particularly at nesting sites, where egg development and hatchling emergence are critical periods for conservation. This study investigates the influence of moon phases on loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) hatchling behavior, specifically examining the patterns of emergence and ...

Comment on "Magnetosensitive neurons mediate geomagnetic orientation in Caenorhabditis elegans"
eLife, 2018 A diverse array of species on the planet employ the Earth's magnetic field as a navigational aid. As the majority of these animals are migratory, their utility to interrogate the molecular and cellular basis of the magnetic sense is limited.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Some data are collected on circular (rather than linear) scales. Often researchers are interested in comparing two samples of such circular data to test the hypothesis that they came from the same underlying population.

Magnetoreception through Cryptochrome May Involve Superoxide [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 In the last decades, it has been demonstrated that many animal species orient in the Earth magnetic field. One of the best-studied examples is the use of the geomagnetic field by migratory birds for orientation and navigation. However, the biophysical mechanism underlying animal magnetoreception is still not understood.
